ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of beef cattle with two levels of energy-protein supplementation of low-consumption on African Bermudagrass pasture, overseeded in winter with oat and ryegrass, with or without irrigation. Twenty-four castrated Angus steers (11 months old and had an initial average of 220 kg body weight (BW)) were used in experimental area of 3.6 ha. The experiment was completely randomized in a 2×2 factorial design, with three replicates. The evaluation period was […]

The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) version 5.0 to estimate the dry matter intake (DMI) of grazing lactating Holstein cows, grazing coast-cross pasture supplemented with corn silage and concentrate (3 or 6 kg/cow/day). Six experiments were carried out, with 12 cows each. The cows were fed 17 kg/cow/day of corn ensilage in three experiments. The chemical composition of extrusa samples of forage was determined, obtained using an […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the feed systems for 70 primiparous beef heifers from the initial gestation period at the age of 13/15 months to the end of the second reproductive period as primiparous cows at 22/24 months of age. The experimental design was fully random with plots subdivided in time considering animals as replicates. The initial mean live weigh was 282 kg and the initial mean body condition was 3.2. The feeding systems were proposed to […]
